Dear Kenyans,
The Kenya Film Classification Board, led by Ezekiel Mutua, has proposed a Film Bill. This bill is nothing but an egoistical tool against the freedom of expression of the people of Kenya.
Article 33 of the Kenyan constitution clearly says:
Every person has the right to freedom of expression, which includes--
(a) freedom to seek, receive or impart information or ideas;
(b) freedom of artistic creativity; and
(c) academic freedom and freedom of scientific research.
A good example of how this Bill curtails Kenyan creativity:
PART VII: STAGE PLAYS
Approval and Classification of Stage Plays
40(1) No stage play may be exhibited in a place to which the public or a section of the public is invited to attend , whether or not a charge is made for admission to the premises in which the exhibition is held, unless such stage play has been classified by the board
(2) A person who exhibits a stage play in contravention of subsection (1) is guilty of an offense and liable on conviction to a fine of two hundred thousand shillings or a term of two years imprisonement or both
Applications for classification of stageplays
41 (1) an application for the classification of a stage play is to be made to the Board in the prescribed form.
(2)The application for classification must be accompanied by; (a) the script of the stage play to which the application relates; and (b) a copy of every poster intended to be publicly displayed in connection with the stage play or its exhibition; or,
(c) audio-visual commercials , if any, to be used in promoting the stage play (d) if the stage play or poster intended to be exhibited or distributed in connexion with the stage play contains writing or speech in a language other than English, the Chief Executive Officer may require a translation thereof into English, certified to t
